Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The name of amino acids that needs an enzyme complex similar to the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex should be given. Also, the name of that enzyme complex should be given.

Concept introduction:

Amino acids can be defined as the organic compounds which combine to form proteins. Proteins act as the building blocks of life. When proteins are broken down then amino acids are left behind. Amino acids are of two types: glucogenic amino acid and ketogenic amino acid. Pyruvate dehydrogenase enzyme complex is required for the linking of glycolysis and TCA.

what are the different classes and some examples of neuroprotectants that can be used to treat, prevent, or combat neurotoxicity/a neurotoxicant...for example, antioxidants, nutraceuticals, etc.,..?
Imagine that aldolase can react with the seven carbon molecule Sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphate (below). Use the mechanism to predict the two products generated. Please draw out the stereochemistry in a fischer projection.
Sodium borohydride (NaBH4) is a potent inhibitor of aldolase. It is known to ONLY inhibit theenzyme when it is complexed with substrate. Treatment of the enzyme alone has no effect.What is the mechanism for this inhibition? Please draw out the mechanism and show how it inhibits this.
